A variety of service organizations will present to the Council at the July 8, 2021, Budget Workshop. For fiscal year 2021-2022, the City Council is considering requests in the amount of $285,787. Organizations asking for assistance include the Coppell Arts Council, the Coppell Chamber of Commerce, Metrocrest Services, the Coppell YMCA and Woven Community Clinic (formerly Metrocrest Community Clinic).
